Will the Minister outline the legislative timeline for the establishment of the strategic investment bank and for the legislation on the promised amendment to the Official Secrets Act?

Despite the Tánaiste and the Taoiseach giving a clear commitment that all of the documentation in respect of the selection of primary care centres would be made available to the House and despite the fact that I have tabled freedom of information requests, I have not yet received the documentation. It has been weeks. When will the reform of the Freedom of Information Act be before the House? We would like to amend aspects of the Act to ensure that it cannot be used as a shield by the Government to prevent information from reaching Deputies quickly and effectively. We have been waiting six months to get vital information on significant policy decisions of the Government.

I have given the Deputy some latitude.

Everything gets referred to freedom of information. When will the legislation be before the House?

The Deputy asked about three Bills and also asked a general question. As the Deputy knows, the Government established the strategic investment fund. It has been commenced and is leveraging money as a fund to be made available to defined sectors of the economy. The legislation for it to migrate to a bank will be introduced next year.

There is no date yet for the amendment to the Official Secrets Act as proposed in the programme for Government. The freedom of information (amendment) Bill is in my area of responsibility and forms part of a suite of transformational legislation, including the register of lobbyists, the extension of the remit of the Ombudsman, which is before the Seanad, and-----

There is nothing transformational about the current practice.

-----a range of other matters. As the Deputy knows, the heads of the Bill have been approved by the Government and we are awaiting drafting.

In terms of freedom of information, one of the objectives of the amendment is to undo the narrowing of the terms of the freedom of information legislation which Fianna Fáil enacted.

It is what the Deputy's party did.

We are not getting any information.

We cannot have a discussion now.

We intend to have that Bill before the House as soon as possible.
